One door closes, another opens. Now you and the boys can run free into that new life. {{{{{Julie}}}}}

Julie, you cannot change what he is - or isn't. You were so gracious in your wishes for him, and knowing you, I'm sure that it was sincere on your part. You can look yourself in the mirror everyday and be proud of you. Can he do the same? That is a chapter closed. Not forgotten, but closed. I know that the road ahead is holding wonderful things for you.
Mucho hugs!

Hang in there Julie. I will be praying for you as you move on to your new life. You are a very strong lady, and I know that you and your boys will be okay. As GrizzysAuntie said, one door closes and another opens. My the path beyond the open door hold many good things for you.
*hugs*

Julie leopards don't change their spots. He is what he is, and you have always been a bigger person. I am so proud of you. I can't imagine how scared you might be to start a new life, but I truly think you will be happier. My thoughts and prayers are with you. Grieve the end of the marriage, but know it was the best thing for you and your boys. Now you can move on to what you deserve--happiness. May your new adventure begin with the love and support of family and friends--especially TDK.

Hi DM, I'm glad for you that's over. You took the high road wishing him the best and he showed his true colors to the end. He doesn't deserve you. You will be fine, you are a strong woman and a great mom so be proud of yourself and excited for the journey ahead. Hugs to you and your sons.

Going to bed now.
After the kids came home I was waiting for a neighbor to pick up a few things they wanted. Told me that they would be right over. Took them 3 hours. GGRRRRRRR! I still had to go to the bank and lo and behold the bank changed their hours, so I didn't make it. BIG GGRRRR! T
he boys and I went to Denny's for dinner since I never made it at lunch time. Then we picked up some snacks and such for the road. Made them both get hair cuts also. Talk about mad at me, they want long hair and I told them when they turned 18 they sure could. Mean Mom!
I wanted to get out of here tomorrow, but I don't think it will happen, Looks like it will be the 12th instead. Guess my birthday present to me is getting out of Illinois. LOL!
I am going to turn in now before I fall asleep on the computer, I am sooooo exhausted feeling I can barely keep my eyes open; but I had to check in and let you know I am doing ok. G'night!

{{{Julie}}} How sad your ex couldn't muster some goodwill, especially when he had nothing to lose by doing so. You are a gracious human being in the face of such misfortune. I am keeping you and the boys in my prayers and wishing you a safe and wonderful journey. AND an early Happy Purrrday!?!?

DM, you have class, a real Lady.

Julie, I am glad that this is over for you. You handled yourself with poise and grace. I am sure today you will get what you need done and be able to leave tomorrow. I wish you a safe journey and all the best with your new life with your boys. (Hugs)

Someday, Julie, I'll be where you are now, and you got there through a lot more challenges than I'll have. My furbabies are my only children, and I'll only have to move out of walking distance from Mr. L. (the lawyer told me to be sure to do that!). ***Deep breath*** If you can do it, I can do it. Thank you for the inspiration.

Julie, you are strong. Please know that we are all inspired by you and your strength. We are with you on the road, please know the truck will be "tight". Drive carefully and darn you for leaving Illinois! LOL (((DM)))

Honey, the operative term here is "ex." He is gone, history, Caspar, outahere. And bless his heart, he was consistent: a jerk to the end of the story.
Immediately after our divorce, my ex grinned and asked me, "What are you going to do without me?"
I gave him an answer that he did not expect:
"I will forgive you. You will be the source of amusement and one-liners forever.
"I will learn from what happened between us.
"You will recede further and further into the past.
And I will be happier every day for the rest of my life!"
Then I gave him a dazzling smile and walked away.
And I never looked back.

And Emma - don't forget the never ending source of material that his mom has given you!
